Baby chick born on Easter with what I think is an umbilical hernia. It had the umbilical cord wrapped around one leg which I clipped. It is separated from others in clean brooder. Any advice on if this can be treated would be appreciated.
I purchased 16 eggs and shipped from a breeder in Maryland. I’m in Michigan. Very happy with this hatch. Great air cells and clean eggs just not sure what I got. He sent 18 and I hatched 14. They’re suppose to be silver laced chocolate, mauve, and blue. ???
Happy Easter! I purchased a mix of Orpington Hatching Eggs. They are 5 weeks old and I’m hoping someone can help me identify what kind they are. Thank you!
